Does Island Expeditions Co. offer any group discounts?

Yes, we offer group discounts. The size of the discount is determined by the number of people in the group and time of year they want to travel.

Does Island Expeditions Co. offer any travel protection insurance?

We do not offer any travel insurance. However, we do recommend people purchase their own medical and cancellation insurance and we help by providing some contacts for this purpose.

What are my rooming options if I'm traveling alone?

All of our trip accommodations are based on double occupancy. We try to pair up single travelers based on their gender and with another traveler with a similar profile. If a single tent is requested, we will do everything possible to accommodate the request, based on available equipment. If a single room is requested during a lodge stay, the guest will be required to pay a nominal surcharge (typically $10-$20), locally at the hotel. Please discuss this with one of our reservations staff before you depart for Belize.

Can I change my mind and transfer to another trip?

Yes, in most cases, if there is sufficient advanced notice (typically, 2 months) and the space on the other trip is available, you can transfer to another trip with no problems. If a trip change is requested without proper notice our cancellation policy will take effect. Many trip costs are incurred well in advance of a trip departure and others may have been turned away because the trip is full. To view the IEC cancellation policy, click here.

Can Island Expeditions Co. guarantee that my trip will run?

No, Island Expeditions Co. cannot guarantee that a trip will run. However, with over 16 years of operating tours in Belize we have rarely had to cancel any of our trips. In the event that a trip is cancelled, we notify the guests well in advance so that alternate travel arrangements can be made. We will also help provide travel options whether it is on one of our other departures, with another tour operator, or with another lodge.
